Default It pays to remember

Some very excellent prepper survival tips, Gordon.

Do you remember the electrical outage that occurred in the midwest and east coast regions, in the early 2000's?

One of the things that I remember, is that fresh water became an instant problem - for millions of people.
Also, houses quickly became uninhabitable, without electricity and running water.

I'm standing by, if anyone needs a long term food storage plan. As for hacking, best advice, get off grid, no devices but emergency radios, and especially CB and old Ham Radio stuff.

One mistake preppers make with their food supply (that survivalists don't make)...

They have too much food which requires water and has too much salt.

See water is the key. If your food supply needs reconstitution, your drinking water goes quickly. A high diet salt intake, or as we call the typical American diet, makes your body crave more salt. A double edge sword.

Also, you can probably do just as well at Walmart, Sam's Club, Costco when buying quantities than you can with prepackaged foods. Most of that food you buy in bulk targeted for preppers, is designed for American tastes, salt, fat content and TASTE.

Preppers want comfort food, survivalists want Saturday Night Food-Stayin Alive, Stayin Alive, ohh, ooh, ooh Stayin Alive

My interest began when as a Commissaryman on a Nuclear powered/Nuclear Missile sub, where we had to order food which would last for years, or have a modest supply of it.

Beans are a good food (Ask Glenn Osborn about Anasazi Beans)...but in a bunker situation, one needs to know how to capture moisture in the air to soak them in and not drinking water, SEE?...something most preppers don't consider but the Bear Grylls types do.

Same with RICE. You want a glass gallon container, not plastic to use sun light and condensation to cook your rice.

So, if getting the bunker ready, let me know.
If concerned about hacking, I'll sell you a pair of needle nose pliers, to cut the cords and extract the batteries.

Also, I'm pretty handy with a CB good buddies, ten 4.
